November 2005, within Google, discussing the potential acquisition of YouTube. The context is that these emails were exchanged a year before Google ultimately acquired YouTube for $1.65 billion. YouTube is now valued at over $400 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This early internal communication provides a fascinating glimpse into the considerations that ultimately led to one of the most significant acquisitions in tech history. Key Points from the Emails:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Initial Inquiry by Jeff Huber (Nov 6, 2005):<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Jeff Huber asks if anyone from Google has talked to the YouTube team about possibly joining Google. He notes that YouTube is rolling out new features quickly but may lack the backend scalability and monetization strategy that Google possesses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Response from Peter Chane:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Peter Chane mentions that Google hasn&#8217;t spoken to YouTube and notes that YouTube recently received $5 million from Sequoia and was considering an acquisition by Yahoo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He mentions that Google has planned most of YouTube&#8217;s features for their Q4 release and has already prepared prototypes. However, they are short on UI\/Java development resources, with only 1.5 engineers working on it, which is slowing them down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He believes that with another good Java\/UI engineer, Google would be very competitive with YouTube.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Follow-up from Jeff Huber:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Jeff Huber suggests that Google should consider acquiring YouTube, especially since they know key figures like Mike Moritz and Roelof Botha. He estimates the acquisition cost to be around $10-15 million.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He notes YouTube&#8217;s passion for the space and suggests that it would be detrimental if Yahoo acquired them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Huber proposes talking to YouTube, even if just to make it more expensive for Yahoo, and emphasizes the importance of offering YouTube Google&#8217;s monetization\/ads model over Yahoo&#8217;s.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Forward by Larry Page (Nov 8, 2005):<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Larry Page forwards the conversation to several key figures at Google, including David Drummond, Megan Smith, Peter Chane, Sergey Brin, Jonathan Rosenberg, and Eric Schmidt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He suggests that Google should consider acquiring YouTube, noting that they were recently funded by Mike Moritz at Sequoia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u7f51\u4e0a\u6d41\u4f20\u7684\u51e0\u5c01\u90ae\u4ef6\uff0c\u662fGoogle\u6536\u8d2dYouTube\u524d\u7684\u5185\u90e8\u8ba8\u8bba\uff0c\u65f6\u95f4\u662f2005\u5e7411\u6708\u3002\u4e00\u5e74\u540e\uff0cGoogle
